I've been searching for a rogue build that offered more survivability than average. While the 100 rogue, 70 monk, 30 priest build is nothing new, I wanted to document it and the different ways to play it.

Class skills overview:70 Unarmed - Sleep Fist is going to be the main special of those who want to do the 20x sleep + backstab. Throat Strike is great against high magic mobs.70 Sanctity - Sense, teleport, yeti aspect, and sieze are all great spells. Sense + Sieze lets you snatch mobs 1 by 1. Yeti works great with Riposte and Slice n Dice.100 Shortswords - A main hand machete will let you do incredible damage. Dual wield if you'd like or have a single machete to easily switch to a foil, ranged, or UA weapon.100 Foils - A nice defensive option against high physical damage monsters. Riposte with Yeti aspect is a very nice combo.100 Stealth - Landing a successful backstab is nice but a successful sleep fist backstab is amazing. Sleep Fist or Backstab out of stealth both work well.100 Ranged - A good backup weapon (press - on numberpad to switch, fire, switch back). A venomous spell enchanted sling is a good choice here.100 Traps/Locks - Opening chests is great fun, especially at the end of a phase portal.30 Piety - Heal self is very important although if you can get by with just potions and sanctity heal, you could go 100 rogue/100 monk.30 Divinity - Unfortunately there is nothing here although you have a 75% chance of AMT, which is a good single target bleed.30 Blessed Maces - Won't be used.
